There are some things you wouldn't mind

0:02

being stuck with, like a large unexpected

0:04

inheritance. An always -on -the -verge -of -death phone that

0:06

has to be plugged in just right

0:08

so it charges is not one of

0:10

those things. Switch to Verizon and we'll

0:12

pay off your old phone up to

0:14

$800 via prepaid MasterCard so you can

0:16

get a new one. Just trade in

0:18

any phone from our top brands on

0:20

any unlimited plan. With new line on

0:22

my plan, additional terms apply for trade

0:25

-in and pay off your phone offer.

0:27

See Verizon .com for details. It's

0:31

the Second Date Update with Frito and

0:33

Katie on Y100. What up, Tara? Are

0:35

you ready to bury your soul and

0:37

tell us all about Derek? Not

0:39

really, no. Get

0:42

you. Sadly, this is Second Date Update

0:44

and we will need you to fill

0:46

in some caps and I mean, that

0:48

said, we did appreciate in your email

0:50

that you had a working theory so

0:52

here's to hoping it's as simple as

0:54

that. Oh, what? To it being

0:56

just a trainwreck of a night?

0:59

You'd call that a trainwreck? I just

1:01

had a hundred hopes that this

1:03

whole thing working out, you know. We've

1:05

been flirting for quite a while

1:07

and I know he really liked me

1:09

but he's a bit of a

1:11

shy guy so I

1:13

guess making the

1:15

first move isn't

1:17

exactly... Maybe it really wasn't in

1:19

his wheelhouse. Okay, so he was moving

1:21

too slow. Did you ask him out then? No,

1:24

no, no. I didn't want

1:26

to set that kind of standard

1:28

or be that girl or

1:30

anything. That girl? Which girl?

1:32

Yeah. I just needed him to make

1:35

some effort. I mean, asking

1:37

him out would have been a lot

1:39

easier, right? Definitely,

1:41

but it's kind of the principle of

1:43

the thing. I just really wanted to

1:45

feel pursued and all that. Okay, all

1:47

right, fair enough. So you kept waiting

1:49

but he eventually did get around to

1:52

it, right? Like asking you out? Oh,

1:54

yeah, he did. I'm so

1:56

good at charge to pay the mental toll

1:58

it seemed to take on him. What?

2:00

But yeah, he finally

2:02

did ask me out. He wanted to

2:04

go out that Friday to go

2:06

get some dinner and just, you know,

2:08

see what happens, which

2:11

I took to being some kind

2:13

of, I don't know, like, introvert

2:16

code or something. Okay. I

2:19

think I know where you're going with this.

2:21

like, we're reading between the lines? Yeah.

2:23

What else am I going to be thinking?

2:25

Right. But then, then, okay, it gets,

2:27

it gets all screwed to like, totally. How?

2:31

All right. Well, I had to end

2:33

up running some errand for work and

2:35

these fools had me running all the

2:37

way out to shirts to go pick

2:40

up a delivery that they wanted to

2:42

get another branch. Can you take the

2:44

shirts all the way across town on

2:46

Friday night? Okay. Okay. Like I told

2:48

Derek that we could get dinner at

2:50

this place on the west side. So

2:52

I'm trying to haul all the

2:54

way back to across town during

2:56

rush hour. And at that point,

2:58

I'm just like more and more.

3:00

And of course I ended up showing

3:03

up late. Dang. But look, hey,

3:05

that's understandable. I mean, considering the circumstances,

3:07

work and everything and come on.

3:09

And when I get there, he's

3:11

waiting in his car and

3:13

there's a wait for the

3:16

restaurant. So I'm like, let's

3:18

go sit at the bar and

3:20

he did. So I'm starving and the

3:22

bar was like wildly packed for

3:24

some reasons. It was just like

3:26

really crazy loud in there too.

3:28

It was really hard to carry

3:31

on a conversation or anything meaningful.

3:33

It was just a really rough,

3:35

rough start for a date. I

3:37

don't know. I just like the whole

3:39

thing felt like a train wreck to me.

3:42

Maybe a tornado. I

3:45

just felt like I was influencing

3:47

everything. How do you mean? Like

3:50

a lot of what you've mentioned

3:52

is really like outside of your

3:54

control. I mean, I realize that,

3:56

but it definitely got under Derek's

3:58

skin. He pretty much immediately... called

4:00

in a night after that with no

4:02

explanation. No, nothing. Just

4:04

okay. See you around. He didn't say

4:06

that, did he? Yeah. You

4:08

mean he was just ready to call

4:10

it a night? Yeah. I mean, oh

4:12

my God. Thank goodness. He didn't

4:15

actually say that I'd be able to

4:17

be scarred life. All right. All right. You

4:21

know, I actually might

4:23

be scarred here. I might be

4:25

scarred for life. He hasn't talked

4:27

to me since. Like we haven't

4:29

met up since and he's not

4:31

like been responsive to anything. So

4:33

here we are. What's the hope here?

4:35

Like what are we angling for? You do want to

4:37

go out with him again, right? Yeah. I

4:39

do. Yeah. I just don't feel like

4:41

it was my best night. And I mean,

4:43

going in, I was like agitated and

4:45

all of that. And then I just don't

4:47

know. I don't feel like I put

4:49

my best foot forward. If we could just

4:51

have a little do -over and then like

4:53

see what happens, that'd be cool. All

4:56

right. Okay. First, let's see what

4:58

happens next. We'll get Derek on

5:00

the phone right here on Frito and Katie.

5:03

For Matters of the Heart,

5:05

there's Frito and Katie. For

5:07

everything else, there's first called

5:09

Flummy, Heating and Air. This

5:12

is the second date update

5:14

on Y100. Okay. So, so,

5:16

Dara and Derek, Dara does

5:18

not feel like she put

5:20

her best foot forward on this date. I

5:22

don't know if she would ever be

5:24

able to see her out. Well, she

5:27

said she had to drive all the

5:29

way to Shirts to get something and then

5:31

drop it off at another branch and

5:33

then go out to this date. And that

5:35

put her on tilt. So she was

5:37

super frazzled going in. And then the restaurant

5:39

was crazy packed and she was starving.

5:41

So she's like, yo, let's sit at the

5:43

bar. Then it's loud. Not the greatest

5:45

environment, I guess, for a first date type

5:47

situation. And Derek has since ghosted. So

5:49

let's see if we cannot smooth this thing

5:51

out, get them back on track at

5:53

another date going. Hey, is this Derek? Who

5:55

is this? Hey, Derek, we're Frito and Katie

5:57

from Y100. I know this seems out of

5:59

the... the blue. So we actually wanted

6:01

to give you a date night that

6:03

we hand out on the show. Okay,

6:06

so if you agree to our terms,

6:08

you get to like pick your own

6:10

adventure, you know, do what you want,

6:12

go where you want, we will pay

6:14

for everything. What terms you talking about?

6:16

So the only requirement for this deal

6:18

is we get to pick your date,

6:21

like the person you go with. What?

6:23

It's not a stranger. I feel like

6:25

I hear that. It's Tara. She

6:27

says she thinks you guys could just use

6:29

a little do -over. Hey, yeah, I think things

6:31

are really mixed nuts back there.

6:33

I think we have really

6:35

weird energy and I just, I'm promised

6:37

that's not normal for me. Oh man, she's

6:39

in on this? Well, she's on the

6:41

phone, yeah, but again, it sounds like

6:43

she just wants to do -over, so

6:45

there's no harm in that. Yeah, I

6:47

mean, I understand all that, but I

6:49

mean, it was really out of control.

6:51

I just don't know if I want

6:53

to be willing to start out for

6:55

another. She was only late, Derek, because of

6:58

work. Yeah, and people show up

7:00

late to things all the time, man. not

7:02

a big deal. Come on. Yeah, that was

7:04

annoying, definitely, but it was way more the

7:06

way that she handled certain situations that night.

7:09

Which situations? She was kind of weird when

7:11

she showed up, but we got some

7:13

food and drinks and you know, whatever, and

7:15

I felt like that was helping a

7:17

little bit. She even said she was going

7:19

to pay for the checks, and she

7:21

made me wait. She insisted. And then that's,

7:23

you know, that's when things got really

7:25

weird. Right. Is this about the upcharge

7:27

thing again? Cara was not an

7:29

upcharge. I think it was just

7:31

the price. It absolutely is upcharge.

7:33

It was more like false advertising.

7:35

Okay, okay, what's false advertising? What

7:37

are we talking about here? Like,

7:39

what exactly? Okay, so I

7:41

got the check and it didn't look

7:44

right. The numbers, they just weren't

7:46

adding up. It looks like I was

7:48

charged a couple extra dollars for

7:50

my drinks. Like those prices were noted

7:52

in the little book. I mean,

7:54

the menu, whatever. seemed like I was

7:56

getting an upcharge. It wasn't listed.

7:58

So I asked a bartender, about it

8:00

and he's like, the whiskey

8:02

in there is premium now and

8:04

I just couldn't come to

8:06

terms with that. There are some things you

8:09

wouldn't mind being stuck with, like a

8:11

large unexpected inheritance, an always -on -the -verge -of -death

8:13

phone that has to be plugged in

8:15

just right so it charges is not

8:17

one of those things. Switch to Verizon

8:19

and we'll pay off your old phone,

8:21

up to $800 via prepaid MasterCard so

8:23

you can get a new one. Just

8:25

trade in any phone from our top

8:27

brands on any unlimited plan. With new

8:29

line on my plan, additional terms apply

8:31

for trade -in and pay off your

8:33

phone offer. See Verizon .com for details. Right.

8:37

Because the alcohol, like was

8:39

mentioned in the write -up by name, I

8:41

got it as it comes, therefore the

8:43

price should have been the same as

8:45

it was on the menu on the

8:47

receipt and it's both advertising and it's

8:49

receptive and who knows how many people

8:52

have been affected by this, it's just

8:54

not noticed. So Whiskey just got more

8:56

expensive, it's like $2 more, it's too

8:58

much. That's not right, the price

9:00

on the menu should reflect the price of

9:02

the drink or you just don't list

9:04

it at all. If you don't want to

9:06

reprint it, cover it, go to a

9:08

digital menu. I don't know, but you can

9:10

have a $13 drink, show up on

9:12

the bill, it's a $13 drink and then

9:14

somewhere there's the secret button, add a

9:16

$2 surcharge that you don't even see listed.

9:20

Even describing it is, it's

9:22

just shady, a rip -off,

9:24

it's just not $2.

9:26

It's $2 per drink. Look,

9:28

I get it, I get it. Literally

9:30

if she wrote this big yelp

9:32

review before we even got in the

9:34

parking lot, I mean, it's like,

9:36

come on, it's just kind of like

9:38

a move. I mean, especially if

9:40

you didn't even get the full story

9:42

or they'd make any changes. Sounds

9:44

like a pretty big deal. Any changes

9:46

now that they've been caught? How

9:48

long has this even been going

9:50

on? And the whole menu's off?

9:52

Is that what's going on? This

9:54

is a big deal. If

9:57

you hide something on

9:59

the receipt, that means they

10:01

don't it. people to see it and that is

10:03

that is intentionally deceptive and that's that's the worst

10:05

part of it all. I don't know

10:07

why you are still to this day

10:10

still crying about it I mean they

10:12

were finding your money and a problem

10:14

was solved you just don't go publicly

10:16

trash a place after they try I

10:18

mean they really try to even the

10:20

bartender everybody tried to make the situation

10:22

better I mean there may be wrong

10:25

so what don't cause a scene about

10:27

it's not that big of a scene

10:29

thank you very much I was totally

10:31

calm with everyone that I spoke with

10:33

and I was just looking for some

10:36

sort of an explanation and I never

10:38

got one that I need satisfactory. Anyway,

10:40

it was much more of a, well,

10:42

this is what it is now, but

10:45

I just don't think that's appropriate for

10:47

a business. I was just gave you

10:49

your money back because you pointed it

10:51

out. It was the day I need

10:54

to deal with that. You, you're coming

10:56

off like a complete Karen right now.

10:58

I mean, she's not. I get that

11:00

maybe the $2 sounds trivial. How? Not

11:02

trivial. Why is this so difficult

11:04

to understand? I'm with you a

11:07

thousand. All right guys, can you hang

11:09

on the line for a few minutes?

11:11

11:15

the need to paint their door

11:17

bathroom with fish, anchors, and other

11:24

nautical items. And because each homeowner
